”What time are you boys leaving tomorrow?” Cameron asked and looked between the three guys.”We’re meeting here at three and then we’ll head into town at like nine or so,” Cole said and looked at Aiden for approval. Meet here, all of them, in this house. It wasn't big enough for me to disappear and there was no way that I was staying in the room knowing that Aiden could come there with Sam. ”Gabby, are you sure you don't want to come?” Bob asked and look genuine in his question. He didn't mean anything bad by asking that question and for all I knew he had no clue about anything that was going on behind the scenes.”No that’s okay, I'll stay here and get a feel of the place. Plus Marie had a surprise for me tomorrow,” I said and smiled.Marie nodded her head and looked lovingly at me with a little smile. She seemed very excited about the surprise and I did wonder what it could be. Everyone had eaten and they were heading out. Aiden and the guys were gonna play pool and I wanted to

I ate my breakfast without talking much to anyone. My mind was occupied with thoughts from last night, what Aiden and I had almost done and the position in which we fell asleep.Everyone finished their breakfast and one by one they headed from the table. Marie said she’d come looking for me later to show me the surprise she had planned. I pushed my chair back and got up, Aiden followed suit and stood in front of me, blocking my way. ”We need to talk.” I prepared myself for a lecture about not speaking of what had happened. He didn't have to worry about it. Aiden grabbed my arm and we headed around the back and into another private room. He closed the door and spun me around. ”Did you pay for their things?” He asked me and narrowed his eyes on mine. I froze, his eyes weren't just looking into mine, they were searching for something, for the turth that he already knew.”What?””I heard what Melina said, tell me the truth.” He said angrily and leaned his head down. ”No.” I said with

We went to the pingpong table and each picked up a racket.”You serve,” she said and tossed the boll over. I hit it and it flew into a wall. I pouted my lips and narrowed my eyes. ”Just for the record, I've never played before,” I said.”You don't say,” Cassy said and rose her brows as she went to get the ball. We started of slowly so I would get a hang of how it worked. Then we started for real and betted on lunch tomorrow.”I’m so sorry!” I squealed and covered my mouth with my hands when I accidentally smashed the ball in Casandras face. ”Don’t worry about it,” she said and wrinkled her nose. I groaned and placed the racket down. ”No, come on keep playing,” she whined. To my luck, my phone started buzzing. ”Gotta take this,” I said and raised it, showing her the caller id.”Hi!” I said loudly and walked over to the couch, I sat down on the end and started biting my nail as my smile grew bigger.”How is everything, sis?” Edmund asked on the other line. The sound of his voice

We were driving back to the back in silence. Gabby was sitting next to me with her arms crossed over her chest, slowly troking arm and looking out of the window. Cassy opened the door, thanked for the ride and got out as I stopped outside her house. Gabby opened her door quickly and went out to give her a hug and they said something incoherent and I didn't want to listen in. I just wanted to get home. Every little thing that was keeping me from getting Gabby inside the house was pissing me off further. We drove up and I stopped the car outside the house. It was dark and everyone had gone of to bed. We walked up the stairs and neither one of us said a word. ”Hi, there. How was your night?” My mom came out into the hallway just as we reached the top of the stairs. She was dressed in her nightgown with a morning robe tied around her. Had she been waiting up? She was always asleep by now. ”It was…good,” Gabby said warily and smiled. That smile, the fakest smile I had ever seen but

”Hey, is everything alright?” Cassy asked when she met up with us in the hallway. Aiden walked straight past her and behind the stairs. His father stepped out from the dining hall and his eyes locked with mine before he followed his son. ”Everything is fine,” I said and smiled. She didn't believe me and I probably wouldn't have either. I had gotten less and less convincing with my lies and it was something that bothered me. ”Do you want to go for a walk?” She asked and smiled a half smile. ”Yeah, why not,” We walked down the park and toward the town. The movement was getting more and more as everyone started walking to school and work. ”Do you want to share what it is that is bothering you?” She asked and looked ahead. ”What do you mean?” ”The phone call, Aiden, all of it and also the fact that you’re clenching your teeth so hard that I'm surprised they’re not turning to dust,” now that she mentioned it my jaw was hurting from all the clenching. ”The phone call was my mom,
